My Ubuntu server is using Exim4/Courier for emails and I'd like to know if it's possible to create dynamic email aliases for receiving emails like this:

client+client1name@domain.com
client+client2name@domain.com
client+client3name@domain.com
client+younameit@domain.com

One single account, infinite aliases that you don't need to create explicitly.

That's different from a catch-all address because, well, it caches everything (including spam). With such aliases, you receive emails sent to client@domain.com and client+anything@domain.com only.

Set 

local_part_suffix = +* : -*
local_part_suffix_optional

in your exim.conf

  • Thanks for the information. You seem to be completely right. Unfortunately, I was not able to make it work yet. I'm on Ubuntu and it looks like I have to work with `exim4.conf.template` and `update-exim4.conf.conf`, but my changes are not applied with the command `update-exim4.conf`. I guess I'll have to investigate a bit more. – Sinklar Jul 31 '14 at 13:43
